But if not, we reckon our Strange Aeons tee does a much better job and without all those teenage ‘likesâ€™… via The Awesomer

Thatâ€™s probably a little harsh, and not entirely accurate. Take one look at the threads above and youâ€™ll see sheâ€™s more of an artist really. And true to Picassoâ€™s central tenet that “good artists borrow, great artists steal”, Ms Eary has done some borrowing off of none other than yours truly it would seem. So [...]

You have to love the Eastern Europeans (*). Not quite as laissez-faire as the Chinese, but pesky things like intellectual property just arenâ€™t a concern. I guess so many years being screwed by the Russians means a few ‘cease and desistâ€™ letters are the least of their concerns! So it is with bemused pride that [...]
